ShitLibs give no fucks whatsoever for what a word actually means once their billionaire masters have given them a definition that prevents them from thinking thoughts that are dangerous to the status quo.
Imperialism is a form of capitalism that exists when finance capital has eclipsed commodity production as the Primary driver of the economy in a nation. Russia would love to be Imperialist, but they aren’t, bcs they aren’t economically developed enough. You’re thinking of expansionism, not Imperialism.
You have to remember- Russian fascism was fought since its inception by the West! It was never given a chance to grow into its full potential!
😡
Edit: ok except that one time when we collaborated with them to fight an even greater fascist threat that they were previously allied with but tomato potatoe
Russia would love to be Imperialist, but they aren’t, bcs they aren’t economically developed enough.
The word Imperialism was coined in the 1870’s and applied to countries that were several orders of magnitude less developed than Russia today. Lenin defined Imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism which definitely applies to Russia today. Russia is as capitalist and developed as the UK is today.
Just writing a bunch of tankie buzzwords makes you feel smart but nothing you said is true lol. When stupid people think they are smart because they’ve learned to speak in a certain cadence and use certain words popular with their in-crowd it’s really dangerous and cringey to boot. Very similar to religion. Hearing people pray out loud just makes my skin crawl. Your comment is really similar.
Lol, so you actually think that using the replacement definitions your capitalist masters created to ensure you wouldn’t be able to think thoughts that are dangerous to them is not “dangerous and cringey”?
I’m guessing you also think your residence and car are “private property” too, don’t you?
Your boss and landlord thank your for you pliability.

Oh look we have a defender of neo fascist Russia.
Ohh they are not developed enough to be a neo fascist shithole, you don’t say.

Words are words are words. A rose is a rose is a rose and by any other name smells as sweet.
Blablabla.
Let’s not invade and kill people. Ok? Ok.
Expansionism is a subset of imperialism. Imperialism (the word and the actual behavior) existed before Lenin described imperialism under capitalism.
